| Explore | Background research from class: Different seeds grow best in different soil temperatures, and pea plant seeds grow best in room temperature. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | Will the pea plant seed germinate quicker in the freezer, room temperature, or incubator temperature condition? |
| Predictions | We predict the pea plant seed will germinate the earliest in the room temperature setting. |
| Experimental Design | Independent variables: Growing pea plant in freezer(3.3°C) / room temperature(20°C) / incubator(41°C) temperature settings. Controls: Amount of sunlight (none) and amount of water (constant). Dependent variables: Time it takes for pea plant seed to germinate. |
